Hi Everyone, I have had a hell of a time recently with my 2000 RCSB 2WD Silverado LM7 (has RPO Z82 and Z85, doubt that matters but wanted to include as much detail as possible). It was lowered 2/4 with spindles, hangers, and shackles, largely from previous owner. Within the last month I've worked to completely replace the entire suspension front and rear. My goal was to have factory height up front, and 2in drop shackles in rear. Focusing on the front, it has new UCA (Mevotech TTX), LCA (Mevotech supreme), inner (Mevotech supreme) and outer (Mevotech TTX) tie rods, knuckles (Dorman), coil springs (Moog offset), Bilstein 4600's, wheel hubs/bearings (Timken). Rear I sourced brand new front hangers, and did new leaf pack (exactly what came on the truck). Front and rear got brand new hardware, as well. Double checked the coils are keyed/seated correctly in the LCA pockets.

When I was 2/4 dropped, I had the "Chevy lean". So I figured when I went to factory height it would still have the lean, thus I installed Moog 60150, the offset springs to combat that.

You are now talking to a guy that not only has a 1in lean to the passenger side, but I have achieved that even with a full tank of fuel, hah. Center of wheel to lip of fender on Driver Front measures 20.5in, and Passenger Front measures 19.5in.

Got it aligned (that took 3 tries to barely get a decent alignment. First two were "toe and go". Having real bad luck in my area). I've driven a little over 100 miles, plenty of bumps and turns. I don't see this settling much more than it has to "level" side to side.

Has this happened to anyone else? Maybe my alignment could potentially cause this? There's ever so slight positive camber. 0.3* Driver and 0.1* Passenger. Maybe I just need to take them out and put in Moog 60148 springs which are not the offset ones. Coilovers are unfortunately not in the budget.

 

19.5 is where you want to be.

 

For whoever is following along, now or in the future - I painted up one of the factory springs and popped it in the passenger side. The side to side disparity decreased by 1/4in. Which leads me to believe the Moog springs aren’t just an increased driver height spring but also a decreased passenger.

Will circle back again with what happens when I put the driver stock back in.
